A total Dive
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/12/07
I was looking for a good value on a motel, the pictures on the web site looked good and said it was near some of the attractions we wanted to see.
We reqested two separte rooms, one smoking, one non-smoking. While registering the clerk told some one in the back to check and see if a paticular room was ready. ( we were checking in after 5p.m.) we stated that we wanted rooms near each other. The rooms ended up being half way across the motel from one another. The smoking room was not to bad. I had no problem being in it. I have extreme allergies to many smells. I went to my non-smoking room and about quit breathing, the air was so thick with air freshener, it smelled like they had sprayed a whole can of it in the room. I opened the window, turned the air on high. I lay down to rest and could smell the distinct odor of cigarettes. I saw that both night stands had burns on them, one of them had ashes in the drawer and there was a cigarette burn on the carpet. There was a no-smoking plauqe on the door but it certainly hadn't been used as non smoking.
The beds were worn out, to the point that the box spring on mine was completely broke down on one side. There was a leak under the vanity with mold and mildew growing on the carpet. The bathroom had broken tiles in the tub area, the toilet would almost over flow every time you flushed. The carpet was frayed and torn near the door and worn out through out the whole room.
There was no hot tub, as stated in the review, the pool was mostly shaded so it was ice cold. The hot breakfast consisted of weak coffee, watered down juice and muffins that normally come in a two pack,(they can be purchased at places like Sam's club.) that were opened up and put out individually and left uncovered. The whole exprience was bad. The one good point, great water pressure in the shower. We certainly learned to check out the rooms before check in during the rest of my trip.
